[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It does not have the power of a gasoline mower but it doesn’t have the mess either. The suction is weak but it cuts the high grass pretty well. The 4ah battery is on the low end of the needed power. A 8ah or a second battery is needed to complete the yard.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Totally satisfied with how this mower operates. Very comfortable and so easy to store out of the way. Excellent value.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this mower. Together our two 80V batteries allow for 30-40 minutes of mowing time before recharging. The mower cuts grass quickly and evenly. Our only complaints are the plastic levers on the handles seem a bit flimsy and the protective flap on the back sometimes makes it hard to pull the mower backwards. The wheels can lock up, but pushing forward and then pulling back again usually clears it up.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Environmentally Safe, Effective, Powerful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mower: Good - - Battery - 80V / 4AM battery is decent. I was able to mow most of my yard (have a decent size corner lot in a subdivision. Takes about 30 to 40 minutes for full recharge which is awesome. - Weight - Very light. Almost don't need the self propelled. - Handling - Good, but takes a little getting use to. It is rear wheel drive and you have to let off the self propel bar 1 to 1.5 seconds before you come to a stop, or plan to pull it backwards. The controls for the self propel bar is below the handle, and the bar to keep it running is along the top. This was the opposite form my prior mower, so I kept shutting the mower off on accident. But I'm sure it will be like 2nd nature soon enough. An added benefit that I have not seen in any post yet is that you can use the self propel without having the mower blades running. I found this useful as I have to traverse a few areas between grassy areas. I was able to use the self propel without worrying about the blades hitting anything or kicking anything up. Very handy. - Storage and Cleaning - The fold up feature is great for storing, and makes it easy to blow it off after use. - Height Adjustment is as easy as it gets. One lever and lots of options. - Noise - Much quieter than gas motor. Can talk over easily. Do not need noise canceling headphones. Could use ear pods and still hear music without making them too loud.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this battery powered mower to fine tune the mowing on the acreage around our house. Excessive time spent weed trimming no longer made sense where the tractor mower couldn’t reach so we added this machine to our line-up and haven’t been disappointed! We love the mulching feature so that we can use the grass and leaf mulch for our compost garden. Another bonus are the easy to use adjustments for cutting height and user handle height. The battery life is excellent and serves our needs. This is our 3rd Greenworks purchase in the last 2 years and will happily continue to support an American company!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works as expected. Have to use side discharge if grass is slightly wet else stops working as jammed with grass.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Battery says 60-70 mins ,,, my two lst less than 30 Def wouldn't suggest for a yard more than 1000 ft
waiting to see how customer services says and will report baxk
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello mid city mower. We are sorry to hear that you were not completely satisfied with the run time of this battery. The run time varies depending on the tool that it is being used in but also the load acting against the unit while in use along with operator technique and more. The run-time of a battery would depend on the load acting on the unit while in use (speed, terrain, unit height, grass height, and density). Please be aware that the more power being used from the lawn mower (i.e. lawn mower speed, terrain, grass height, density, etc.), the faster the battery charge will drain. Suggested, runtime for this lawn mower is up 60 min. (w/ included batteries) or up to 1 Acre. We would be happy to investigate to see whether your run time would be considered average; please reconnect with us by Live Chat on www.greenworkstools.com or by phone Greenworks Pro toll-free helpline 1-855-345-3934. We would like the opportunity to speak with you in greater detail.
